@GunnerGirl I think it was you that was saying Sky should advertise our game with Everton as Lukaku vs Alexis race for the golden boot, well looks like old HurriKane Harry swept in and has changed that

I'd play a strong team against Everton, and only rest players who truly need it to avoid jeopardising fitness for the cup final ( maybe someone like Koscielny for instance). I'd rather try and keep our run of good results going to avoid halting our momentum. Also because no matter how remote the chance may seem, we can still finish in the top four if we do the business and Liverpool don't. I highly doubt Liverpool will drop points in this one as they know what's at stake, but the fact is that this is exactly the kind of match Liverpool have dropped points in throughout the course of the season.

Who really needs rest though? We've been out of the Champions League since March, out of the League Cup since last year and all we've had is the 120 minutes against City and plenty of rotation in between (primarily down to the change in formation).

I think it would be a shambles if we rest anyone in a game where we can still mathematically qualify for Europe and we are also still a whole week away from our FA Cup Final game which is to be played in London.. a not too unreasonable drive from where we usually play.

Basically, I agree with you. No need to ruin any sort of momentum we do have going.

but the fact is that this is exactly the kind of match Liverpool have dropped points in throughout the course of the season.

Crazier things have happened.

Just look at last season. The only way we overtake Spurs on the last day of the season is if they lose, but they're playing an already relegated Newcastle team who go down to 10 men. Dead rubber right?

That being said I do believe we've finally ridden our luck all the way to the end with regards to finishing top 4. There have been a few seasons now where we shouldn't have made it, but we did and I think we have really shit the bed this time.

Oh yeah man, I don't disagree with you at all. That line in my post was more of a caveat than anything, basically acknowledging that it could be the case that someone might need resting and I wouldn't know because I'm not privy to fitness reports or training sessions.

Winning 20 or losing 2 0 if Liverpool are winning wont impact on wembley. Im not really buying taking momentum on the last day into any significance for the final.We got a few results lately to suggest we know were we are now.
